Caroline Wozniacki Wins Australian Open, Taking Home Her First Grand Slam Title

Caroline Wozniacki is officially a Grand Slam champion. In a close match during an electrifying Australian Open final, held in Melbourne on Saturday, the Danish tennis player defeated Romania’s Simona Halep 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-4. Her victory marks her first major singles title after 43 majors and two failed attempts at finals.

“It was such a tough grind,” Wozniacki told The Telegraph of her win. “It was very hot out there. I think both of us were very tired in the end. At the same time we fought our hardest, and I’m very proud to be here with the trophy.”
